I’m Innocent!
The policeman finally spoke, and it wasn’t anything good that came out of his hesitant mouth. Jazwinski was shocked to learn from the cop that he would be issued with a ticket.

With the most basic offense out of the way, William began to fear that there were far worse charges that he was about to be slammed with.

The young man was then entering newfound levels of incredulity, fueled by another pained period of silence shared by the two.

Whatever William was being stopped for, the police officer was clearly having trouble expressing what exactly.
